At Medicare Health Benefits, we understand that recent news regarding Medicare Advantage in New Mexico has raised important questions for many local seniors and their families.
According to healthleaders, Presbyterian Healthcare Services has announced it will discontinue most of its Medicare Advantage plans beginning in 2027, impacting approximately 30,000 members across the state.
While coverage will remain in place through 2026, many individuals will need to review their options and select new Medicare coverage for the future.
We want you to know that you are not alone in this process. Our team is here to help guide you every step of the way.
What This Change Means for You
If you are currently enrolled in an affected Medicare Advantage plan, this transition may require you to make several important decisions.
For many seniors, Medicare Advantage plans combine medical coverage, prescription drugs, and provider networks into one plan. When a plan is no longer available, it may mean:
- Reviewing new coverage options
- Confirming whether your doctors are still in network
- Evaluating prescription drug coverage
- Comparing costs such as premiums, copays, and out of pocket expenses
- Ensuring continuity of care for ongoing health needs
We understand that these decisions are not always simple. Our goal is to make the process as clear and manageable as possible.
